The Honma TW767 Px irons are a desirable blend of playability and consistency. Wonderful Players Distance category looks at address. Pleasant sound and feel with helpful feedback.
Introduction
Continuing their commitment to “provide the most complete line of game-enhancement products for better players,” Honma added a fourth model to their latest Tour World iron lineup, TW767. While the hollow body TW767 Hx is the truly new model, the TW767 Px reviewed here is more than a simple improvement on the TW757 P it replaces. The TW767 Px is Honma’s first three-piece iron in the history of the TW series. Having only read with envy Matt Saternus’s reviews of Honma irons over the years, I jumped at the opportunity to test the new Honma TW767 Px irons.
Looks
The first element of the Honma TW767 Px irons that captured my attention was the finely dappled finish of the rear cavity cover. Honma refers to this piece as the cap-back, and its near-glittery presence in the sunlight is a bit flashy for my taste. That said, the rest of the iron offers one of the best looking players distance profiles of 2025.
At address, the topline of the TW767 Px appears even thinner than it actually is. Heel to toe length leans towards compact but not in an intimidating way. The modest offset completes an overall pleasing look. Back in the bag, the narrowness of the sole adds to the visual appeal.
Sound & Feel
Being my first time hitting Honma irons, I began my first range session free from expectations. Within a couple of swings I was grabbing my notebook to capture the superlatives that were entering my mind. Across the set, centered contact produced a pleasant ‘snap’ that was a four on a ten-point volume scale. That sound was in perfect harmony with the level of softness of the feel. And I need to clarify that ‘centered’ is a very generous area on the face of the Honma TW767 Px irons.
When my strikes moved to the perimeter of the club, feedback to my hands was clear. It wasn’t a punishing sting – more of a firm rebuke. And as you’d imagine, all the pleasantries of the sound were gone. For golfers who want to get better, but aren’t striving to groove a dime size wear spot, the Honma TW767 Px irons provide useful feedback on strike quality.
Performance
Before discussing performance, it’s worth reviewing the construction and materials of the TW767 Px heads. The “FORGED” stamp you see in the photos is on the S25C steel body. This low carbon material that forms the framework of the head lends itself to bending – a feature fitters appreciate. Honma designed two distinct faces for the Px set. In the 5 thru 8 irons, the L-Cup face is constructed of AM3550 stainless steel.
For the 9 iron and wedges, Honma went with a ES235 non-alloy steel cast flat. Honma doesn’t disclose the cap-back material, and my wife won’t permit me to perform any destructive testing. The materials selection contributed not only to the wonderful sound and feel, but also to performance, as I’ll describe in a moment.
Assessing performance of the Honma TW767 Px irons was relatively simple as I found them highly consistent. Trajectories were mid-high, with equally good launch and landing angles. With the pitching wedge I was gaining 3-5 yards over my gamers, but I later noted the Px was a degree stronger. With the equally lofted 7 iron, carry and total distances were virtually the same. The generous sweet spot kept dispersion tight. With a descent swing, the TW767 Px irons delivered reliable results.
Two design features deserve mention. First is the variable thickness face and L-Cup construction on the longer irons. “Tailored to the performance needs of each club,” the preservation of ball speed and direction are noteworthy. Second is the Vizard shaft – it made the Px irons really easy to hit. The stock regular flex EZ-C felt smooth and responsive. For readers not familiar with Vizard shafts, they’re designed and manufactured in-house by Honma. And if you prefer steel shafts, the Nippon NS Pro 750GH neo [review HERE] are a tremendous option.
Conclusion
Players Distance is an irons category that continues to grow as OEMs strive to provide models for the needs of a wider array of golfers. The new Honma TW767 Px irons do this perfectly, offering a size and performance combination that falls between blades and game improvement sets. While the cap-back finish might not suit every golfer’s eye, the sound and feel are sure to please. Add in great all-around performance and the Honma TW767 Px irons are worthy competitors in the Players Distance space.
